Chapter 348: Chapter 348: Mutated Snow Fox

Translator: 549690339 |

At this moment, Song Jian was somewhat nervous, as two balls of flame were constantly clashing on the surface of his body. Their periodic explosive sounds made him somewhat fearful.

“Retract!” Song Jian silently commanded, trying to control the Abyssal Flame. However, it stood completely still, refusing to be controlled.

Soon, Song Jian realized that the Third-tier Demon Flame seemed to have the upper hand, as it started to corrode the golden patterns within the Holy Flame. After a few minutes, the Holy Flame was completely eroded by the Abyssal Flame, and the golden patterns turned into a shade of black and gold.

The Holy Flame Pearl in Song Jian’s hand also began to shrink, eventually turning into a small pile of grey ashes.

After eroding the Holy Flame, the Abyssal Flame was once again under Song Jian’s control. But now, it gave off a languid feeling, just like how a baby Black Dragon behaves after a full meal!

The temperature inside the Frost Cave was much lower than outside. Despite losing the boost of the Holy Flame Pearl, Song Jian didn’t feel cold at all. After merging with the Abyssal Flame, his Ice Resistance had reached thirty points, enough to withstand the low temperature of this dungeon.

Having thirty points of Ice Resistance, along with a 30% reduction in water-type damage and the innate skill “Thick Skin” which forcibly reduces more than twenty points of damage, the normal ice damage in this place was nothing more than a tickle for Song Jian.

If you consider the immunity to slowing and freezing effects granted by the Ring of the Fire God, it could be said that Song Jian could clear this fifteen-level five-player dungeon on his own, without the need for teammates.

Once this was clear to him, Song Jian boldly delved deeper into the Frost Cave.

The Frost Cave looked like a giant mountain formed from a frozen skyscraper from the outside. But once inside, Song Jian found it to be as complex as a spider’s web, with countless narrow, winding paths resembling a labyrinth.

However, no matter how many paths there were, none could be as intricate as the Kantelu Maze. Song Jian patiently started exploring from the far left, charting his route as he went along.

After a while, Song Jian discovered a fifteen-level ordinary beast, a mutated snow fox, lying on a white ice rock.

LV15 Mutated Snow Fox, Vitality Points: 1500/1500. Trait: Ice Reinforcement.

The size of the Mutated Snow Fox was comparable to a small calf. Its crystal-white fur, gleaming in the light, made it hard to distinguish it from the snow if someone wasn’t paying attention.

The only contrasting color on it was its eyes; they looked like two rubies, emitting a red glow. By the time Song Jian found it, he had already entered its warning range.

The Mutated Snow Fox suddenly stood up from the ice rock and stared at Song Jian. It growled angrily and with a light swipe of its hard claws, shattered the ice rock under its feet, leaving behind a layer of frost.

Song Jian drew out his Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword and used a bottle of Fire Lizard Medicine. To deal with the creatures of this dungeon, fire damage had a bonus effect, and Fire Lizard Medicine was specifically designed to combat this dungeon.

Dark-red flames rose from his crimson sword. The Mutated Snow Fox’s eyes showed a solemn gaze. It watched the flame on the surface of the sword for a long time before jumping off the ice rock and pouncing at Song Jian.

Song Jian cracked a slight smile. With a “boom”, his body was once again engulfed in a black flame. Alarmed, the Mutated Snow Fox let out a sharp cry, seemingly calling for its fellows.

Song Jian charged at the Mutated Snow Fox, continuously slashing at it. Each attack inflicted hundreds of damage on the fox, rapidly depleting its Vitality Points. However, the pain also triggered its savage nature, making it less fearful of the flames and it retaliated by launching frantic attacks on Song Jian.

Damage points from seven to eight sporadically appeared above Song Jian’s head, with the word “immune” mixed in. If ordinary players were to venture here, each of the Mutated Snow Fox’s attacks would cause forty to fifty points of damage, along with annoying freezing and slowing effects. Even a full team of players would have to be extremely cautious to defeat this beast.

Song Jian, after testing the ordinary monster’s damage, raised his left arm and a silver Sword Qi pierced the fox’s throat, sending it flying.

He then unleashed a flurry of skills on the airborne fox, and before it could even hit the ground, it was already a corpse.

It only took Song Jian a little over two minutes to kill an ordinary monster in the dungeon. He picked up a piece of Frost Crystal and several Doomsday Coins dropped by the mutated snow fox and continued deeper into the cave.

Frost Crystals were fragmented forms of Frost Crystal Cores. It would take three Frost Crystals to combine into a Frost Crystal Core. Although it was somewhat troublesome, monsters in this dungeon had a high drop rate for Frost Crystals. As for the Frost Crystal Cores, they could only be obtained by defeating the dungeon bosses.

The Frost Cave was brightly lit, with walls all around made from solidified frost that acted like mirrors. Ice stalactites hung around, and despite being cold, the cave felt like a fairytale Crystal Palace and was incredibly beautiful.

The monsters inside the Frost Cave were not very powerful. If not for the additional freezing and slowing effects, the monsters here would have been weaker compared to the fifteen-level zombies outside. Moreover, the drop rate in this dungeon was much higher. If it wasn’t such a hassle to get into, it would have already become a popular grinding spot for players.

After spending more than an hour, Song Jian finally arrived at the core area of the Frost Cave. Along the way, he had killed fifty to sixty Mutated Snow Foxes alone. Because of his “Savior” title, Song Jian’s luck was equivalent to an extra two points, resulting in plenty of Frost Crystal drops. In just over an hour, he had gathered over thirty Frost Crystals and combined them into several Frost Crystal Cores.

Much to Song Jian’s delight, he had also obtained an Alchemy recipe, a basic Ice Resistance Potion. After using it, one could increase their Ice Resistance by 10 points for an hour.

An increase of 10 Ice Resistance points was just about enough to enter the Frost Cave. Otherwise, an ordinary player without the Holy Flame Pearl, upon entering the Frost Cave, would likely be frozen into an ice sculpture.

For Song Jian, learning the basic Ice Resistance Potion allowed his Alchemy and Pharmacology skills to increase greatly again. Perhaps he might level up his Alchemy and Pharmacology skills again due to this recipe.

“The combat experience here gives a lot!” Song Jian looked at his level and a hint of joy emerged on his face. His level had already risen to 16 with 68% of the way to level 17. The experience gain speed had almost doubled compared to killing monsters outside.

Just then, a low growl came from afar, causing the entire Frost Cave to tremble slightly.

“The Boss, the Boss should be up ahead.” Song Jian’s heart tightened, and he became increasingly cautious.
